South Douglas Conservation District's proactive efforts are reducing wildfire risks and enhancing forest health on Badger Mountain.
South Douglas CD's fuels reduction project on Badger Mountain spans 115 acres of forested land— the only area of its kind in Douglas County. The district partnered with nine landowners and the Department of Natural Resources to reduce fire hazards by thinning overgrown trees, removing limbs from branches, and clearing dense underbrush.
The results are striking:
Jefferson County CD partnered with Spring Rain Farm to install multistory riparian buffers that protect wetlands while keeping the farm productive. It’s a working example of how restoration and agriculture can thrive together.
A short video from Pacific Conservation Districts shares how no-till farming is helping a local grower improve soil health, reduce costs, and protect water quality.
